My invention relates to improvements' in sashstops.

One of the provide a novel sash stop Vadapted to Lbe'fasf tened to the upper of two 'associatedsli'ding e window sashes, which permits ja limited open`v ing movement of either sash, which can notbe operated'from the exterior so as to permlt any: further openingof the slashes, and 'which'c'an only be operatedrto release the Sashesfonly fr0m the interiorv and y.thenl only when the sashes are closed or nearly sof.V f i' My invention provides further anovel Sash' stop, whichvis simple, cheap, Strong, durable,

not likely Vto get out of' order, which can Vbe* readily land quickly attached to a-fwndow sashrofusual construction, which is 'dicult to feloniously operate from the exterior, Iand which is elicient in its operation.y The novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, whichil-v` lustrate the preferredembodiment of my in-v vention, f 1 y Fig. l is a reduced frontw elevation of my yimproved sash Astop shown* attached to an upper sash andrengaged with alower associated sliding sash.

Y' lvhecatch can not be :released from' tlielower vsashuntil both sashes are closed or g'uide'8, or against'the upper. Screw flatter has apr(ijectinghead,f2as` nearly so. To release the lower sash, to permit of it being raised higher than thestop position, shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the sashes are closed. The catch is then slid to the release position shown in dotted lines in Fig.

. 2, in which position the projection 13 on the vedge ofthe catch 10lwill register with a notch 15 in the inner edge of the guide 8. In this release position the catch 10 may be swung on the guide 7 to the position shown in Fig. 3

and in dotted lines in Fig. 4, in which position, the stop projection 14 will be clear as will the body of the catch 10 of the path of the top rail of the lower sash 4,.so that the path, as described, the conformation of the guide 7 provides therein two notchesl havingbetween them a tonguel, thelatter being adapted to enter a 'slot 18 in the catch body 10. .-The barrel 11v of the catch 10 'is slightly Y shorter than the distaneerbetween the top of theupper notch 16 and the lower end of the lower notch 16. v Y

When the catch 10 is inthe lowermost position, shown in Fig. 8, itslower end will rest against the screw 6. In this position the catch will be below the release position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and the guides 7 and 8 will prevent itV being swung out of the path'of the top rail of the lower sash 4.

When it is desired to raise the lower sash higher than the stop position, the operator, from the inside, lifts the catch 10` from the position shown in Fig.l 8 to the release posi tion, shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, and-then swings the catch 10 to the position shown in Fig. 3 and in dotted lines in- Fig. 4.-

yIf the lower sash 4 is lifted from outside tov bring the catch 10 to the release position, the lower sash will cover the catch 10 below the projection 14, so that the catchvcan not be swung out of the path ofthe lower sash.

When vthe sashes are closed, the operatorA swings the catch 10 from the position, shown in Fig. 3 and in dotted linesinFig. 4, to the release position shown in dotted linesV in Fig. 2, in:which'latterposition, the projection 13 will enter the notch 15, after which the projection 13 and the body Yof vthe catch .can be respectively slid upwardly or downwardly in the slots 12 and 9.

' As the catch 10 can not be moved out of the path of the lower sash unless both sashes are..

closed or nearly so. no opportunityis afforded an outsider to release the lower sash 4 from the catch.

-To prevent the catch 10 from being acci'- dentally forcediout of the guide 7 at the upper end thereof, in case that the projection 13 isnot entered into the. slot 15 and engaged with they guide 8, there is provided 'in the upper part of the guide 7 an inwardly extend-v ing projection 19 forming an abutment which is adapted to be struck by the barrel 11 of the Catch 10, thus preventing further upward movement of the catch, Fig. 9.

I do not limit my invention to the structure shown and described, as many modifications, within the scope ofthe appended claims, may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention. f
